Facebook for kids: Like it or leave it?

First, it was just for college students. Then, the parents joined in. Now, high schoolers are on what's probably the most successful social media platform of all time. Ah, Facebook. What would we do without you?

 

 

For those under the age of 13, however, the answer to that is, well, pretty much anything and everything. Until now, the head honchos at FB HQ had refused to even discuss removing the age restrictions on the popular website. According to Mashable.com, however, that stance might be a thing of the past.


Apparently, Facebook is considering opening the site to tweens with profiles that will be linked to their parents’ accounts. Parents would have to approve friends and applications.

 

What do you think of this new development? Tweens, would you use a FB account that was tied to your parents?

I think that kid under 13 should be able to have Facebook so they can keep in touch with there cousins, Aunts, and Uncles and even with there friends over the summer!

I think that removing the age limit is unnecessary. Kids don't need a Facebook account- they're kids! Although, really, I don't think anyone needs it. It seems to only cause problems for teenagers, and sometimes adults.

I definitely don't think they should remove the age restriction, and I would be okay with a link to your parent's account, but I don't think your parents should approve your friends and applications. That seems a little nosy to me...

i think middle schoolers and even high schoolers should have that option because all facebook is is just drama and parents would know so much more about there child then they would ever know in that was the case...all the conversations are just about fb and how drama this and that i say no and i am 14 so
